BALTIMORE (AP) — Adrease Jackson scored 25 and Chris Knight added 19, both career highs, to help Dartmouth beat Loyola (Md.) 82-80 on Sunday.
The Big Green (2-1) squandered an early 15-point lead and survived a tense final four minutes that had six lead changes and four ties.
Dartmouth took the lead at 81-79 on James Foye's pair of free throws with 1:29 left. Brendan Berry split a pair of foul shots to make it 82-79 with 6.4 seconds left.

The rebound went out of bounds with the Greyhounds (0-2) retaining possession for an inbounds play with 1.2 seconds remaining.
In the final second, Brent Holcombe missed a 3-point attempt off the side of the backboard.
